It’s getting hot in here … @katharinehayhoe.com

Alright I have a question for *all of you*, esp for those of you who are not into environment stuff. When you think about planting native plants in the area you control, what *prevents* you from taking that action? These could be emotional, financial, practical, anything. RTs appreciated here.

Hello and a huge welcome to #GardensHour Let’s show off any accidental or intentional colour themes in your gardens? Do you have some colours that dominate? And if you grow food - show us your wares! Any new varieties tried? Successes or failures?

Yesterday, we had a Red Kite hovering over our back garden. They feed mostly on carrion, worms and, occasionally, small mammals. They were brought back from near extinction in England by successful reintroduction. www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wi... #PoppysEpisodes #30DaysWild

I’m not big on buying stuff, for obvious reasons. (Except secondhand. I love that!) However, warming stripes are such a great climate convo starter that, if you don't already have something, I strongly encourage you to check out artist @nicolekelner.bsky.social's designs, from shoes to dresses!

"175 stripes representing each year since 1850. Blues for colder years, reds for hotter years, “warming stripes” have been adopted around the world as a symbol of climate awareness, action and ambition -- and in 2023, were updated to include a new dark red stripe." Read more by @edhawkins.org:

What an amazingly insightful post! There are some great links to A-Level biology here @chatbiology.bsky.social @mrsjmasters.bsky.social @cmooreanderson.bsky.social @stemybanda.bsky.social
